Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.

Be slow to fall into friendship but when thou art in, continue firm and constant.

As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.

A man's growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends.

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

Accountability in friendship is the equivalent of love without strategy.

Instead of loving your enemies - treat your friends a little better.

Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.

Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend.
